All Party Common Front For Provisional Government.

LAST CHANCE FOR A
PEACEFUL NIGERIA!

A democratic revolution for a just and egalitarian society is what the people are demanding, not casual change, nor business or same ideas as usual – and, this must happen, election or no election!

The Challenge is Existential and Civilizational, Beyond Party, Elections, Ex-Generals, Rich and Powerful, etc – The Youths are Dying, Some Leaving.
Our fantastically corrupt APC is a complete failure and disappointment; deceitfully pretending to be progressive it lured many into itself, concealing a fascist desperation by a CPC faction to pursue an archaic ethnoreligious feudal caliphatic agenda against the peoples, laws and Constitution of the country. To regain a semblance of credibility and discharge themselves from complicity, the ACN and ANPP wings of the party have an obligation to openly condemn and dissociate themselves from Buhari’s seven years of deceits and misrule.
Feudal caliphates, always enemies of their peoples, and ever in apprehensive search for dubious and unpatriotic alliances, its CPC arm, whose ancestors never in the first place supported Nigerian independence nor favoured African liberation struggles, has re-surrendered the country to a neocolonial rule and Middle East meddling, making nonsense of the struggles and sacrifices of Zik, Awo, Aminu Kano and other patriots who secured us freedom, and advised that we be friends to all but no more slaves to any. Under Buhari Nigeria has become independent only in name. No Nigerian should be slave to another, nor anyone entitled to “concession” the country to external religious, economic or other enslavement in a violent quid pro quo for any domestic ambitions.
Nigerians are suffering and dying in droves due to the policies of a few people in high places pursuing their closet ambitions. What is to be done? Is it to endure nine more months (which seems like eternity) of this horrendous rule, orchestrated insecurity, killings, abductions, engineered mutual enmities, connivances and pretended “wars” against terrorists, other atrocities and more slaughters all over the country; or to explore a democratic means of saving precious Nigerian lives by having these men and their cohorts quietly leave the stage immediately, whether or not with a formal impeachment – and citizens thereafter embark upon the process of national healing and reconciliation? Having completely destroyed Nigeria, should we now wait till 2023 when plans might once again have been perfected to subvert the will of the people, including through a stage-managed run-off, or should we insist that both Senate and House, supported by civil society invoke an “act of necessity” for a provisional government to oversee the restructuring of the country, her return to true federalism, and restoration of the peace, security, and democratic rights and freedoms of Nigerians? An act of necessity, a peaceful means of resolving an otherwise negative contradiction, had happened before, and can be used again.
Many of the other parties and individuals challenging the APC and its PDP alter ego, much as they may mean well, are either as ideologically bankrupt and conservative as the two, or simply after the functional efficiency of the unjust system instead of its riddance. Some are specifying economics, actually a function of the nation-building at the heart of today’s disasters. Yes, economics and nation-building are inseparable, but one is fundamental.
What modern Nigerians, both young and old are after is not the efficiency of this awkward system per se, but a total change in the status quo, so that Nigeria can reclaim her historical destiny as an independent and democratic African nation at peace with herself and hope of the black race. This ambition is not too great for Nigeria. For this to happen, any government, like today’s, that does not involve the final abolition of the Caliphate system, the freedom of the Hausa, even the Fulani themselves, Middle Belt and, by extension other Nigerians, from a parralel state-within-state, the institutionalized feudal oppression and enslavements, cannot mean well for the peoples. India has abolished their caste system, Igbo and Yoruba their primitive survivals, South Africa their Apartheid, the US their racial segregation, the entire world destroying Middle East caliphatism; why should a similar or worse evil be uploaded and worshipped in Nigeria and enjoyed by its devotees? For the country to progress, it’s axiomatic to enthrone the modern democratic secular state of equal laws and equal applications under a civilized Common Law code governing everyone within a rational restructuring granting relative autonomy to ethnic nationalities or groupings thereof, otherwise it would be resorting to panadol over surgery in a hernia and, ipso facto, an exercise in futility that will return Nigerians to perpetual domestic and foreign enslavement after a moderate eight-year interregnum, at most.
We must not postpone this duty or transfer the obligation to our children, for it might then have become too late, and we stand accused of a sellout. Must people be slaves, and their offspring too? Must every Nigerian family have an alternative home to run to in Niger republic, Dubai and so on? Either that the peoples of Nigeria are free or not free; the decision has to be made now.
If the Igbo on their own could afford to liberate themselves from the Osu system, the Yoruba from the Aboriginal Ogboni, Ijaw from the primitive Ekine cult, Efik-Ibibio from the ancestral Egbo, and others from the survivals of their primitive and violent pasts, certainly the Hausa, Fulani and, indeed, all Nigerians can afford to be freed from the even more atrocious, bloody and feudal Caliphate system and its domestic ethno-imperial ambitions, the principal purveyor of the killings, bloodsheds, poverty, underdevelopment, disunity and disasters in this space since the last 200 years. President Buhari by his policies has clearly taken a stand against a free, safe and peacefully united Nigeria, and we the peoples should as well take our own collective stand for peace and progress.
Indeed, if amidst the seizure of the country by terrorists, “unknown” gunmen, bandits, ethnic warlords and cleansers, agitators, deltaic militants, religious fundamentalists, kidnappers, cultists, ritualists, drug lords and addicts, big thieves and looters, and sundry murderers, the considerably compromised elections, whose PVCs, like the NINs, are allegedly already in the hands of millions of non-Nigerians, eventually hold peacefully, it would be an additional proof that all along the post-2015 insecurity, unlike before it, had been largely orchestrated, and so, the outcome of such an election would be logically invalid, and the manufactured “winner” illegitimate. Therefore, to solve the riddles, the only rational course of action is to first save the people from more killings, and re-stabilize society through a provisional government, now.

Buhari’s Ethnoreligious Wars Against Everybody
Orchestrated wars and killings, excuses, buck-passings, chaos, unconcealed sectional hatreds, terror, corruption, fear and intimidation everywhere, outright lies and deceits, all suspectedly aimed at transforming Nigeria into a Caliphate colony, not the exaggerated paintings called “infrastructural development” (to be used by dead men!) designed to conceal them, so far remain Buhari’s major “achievements” after more than seven years of trying to start civilized governance:

War against the Igbo/East, for whom without concealing it, he has no liking, and who probably have little for him, and under the pretext of re-fighting a long-gone “Biafran secession” existing only in his mindset, has perished tens of thousands of innocent lives of the youth and elderly. Not a single Igbo is waging a war against the federal government or its armies, but for President Buhari and his men, the Igbo not acquiescing to AK-47 Fulani capturing the farms and forests of the Igbo, kidnapping, raping and killing the people, amounts to fighting the federal government. Since insecurity was deliberately exported to a peaceful East from about 2017, thousands of youths, etc have been slaughtered, and the intended confusion now reigns on who is doing what.
War against the Yoruba who the Mahdi probably pretends to favour because he needs a divide-and-rule alliance with them, but still killing unarmed and harmless Yoruba nation supporters, in addition to the violent occupation of Yoruba forests by armed, massively conveyed, mostly Fulani militia kidnapping and killing the citizens. Extra-judicial murderers were sent to Sunday Igboho’s home, the man detained; while a whole Emeritus Professor, Banji Akintoye, who had rendered a distinguished service to the country, and several others were pursued into exile, because of a caliphatic feudal intolerance of contrary democratic opinions, even as uttering and threatening far worse things had been the brand of peoples in the same government today.
War against the Tiv/Middle Belt, whose anti-open grazing laws and persistent opposition to Islamic jihadism annoy him to no end. Self-confident Fulani terrorists have taken over many communities, killed the locals, dispersed millions into IDPs camps, the state buried countless victims, with the government pursuing more important objectives like borrowing to develop the Niger republic (they are now claiming that Nigérien and other sahelian Fulani, and Nigerians are the same people with no boundaries), amidst the “farmers-herders clashes,” a federal invented euphemism to distort assisted Fulani atrocities.
War against the Southern Kaduna (called Jama’a Federation in the author’s ABU days) and the Plateau highlands, contested between the President’s Fulani and the indigenes over land, in open defiance of any laws by the assisted aggressors. Countless settlements are being eradicated and renamed, arrogant new “emirs” appointed, and survivors suffering in IDPs camps. The indigenes retaining their lands would mean war, and the new landlords are ready

In almost all the situations above and below, the President’s new-look army and military-security services reportedly arrive only after the terrorists have completed their “operations” and the fleeing victims needed be violently prevented from defending themselves, while the terrorist occupiers are left to enjoy their “victories.” Note that in Nigeria almost nobody hates the Fulani, and little reason to insist that except so triggered, the ordinary Fulani hates anybody; everyone is just pleading that they be not encouraged by the government to seize local lands, forests and farms, kidnapping, raping killing the people and “waiting for orders.” To the Fulani federal government such pleas are not a good idea.

War against the Niger Delta. Here is where most of Nigeria’s oil wealth and some of the coastal ports are. Nothing, absolutely nothing seems as dear to Mr. President and his men as: military, oil, and “water resources”; education, health, security, industrialization, start-ups, jobs, justice, peace and harmony, sports, science and technology (except for war) rarely feature except in contempt. To emphasize the importance of those three values, the President also has to be the Minister of Petroleum Resources at a time of diminishing utility for fossil fuel (Jet A1/aviation fuel, all manner of gas, kerosene, petrol, engine oils, etc have become costlier and scarcer, and electricity harder to get under his Ministership); he has built a naval base in the Sahel, with no sign of sea or ship, and might yet add a submarine base too; almost every strategic command in the military is occupied by his “people he can trust,” maybe that can also interprete his “body language”, the unwritten signs and wonders that express the unlawful ethnoreligious biases; and, then, ports histories have to be altered to enable the Fulani that didn’t have any to now own and control them while the original owners are dispossessed or denied of same. These ambitions need a unilateral war, and his government is courageously fighting it and further destroying the Deltaic environment, killing and arresting militants, bombing places that need to be bombed, making haste slowly in a purported Ogoni clean-up, and “effectively” using divide-and-rule against the people. He would not re-allocate oil blocks to benefit them or demilitarize the area to restore confidence. JTF, Army, Air Force, Navy, DSS, traitors, collaborators, etc are all arrayed attempting to do the work a simple equity and justice can easily accomplish.
War against surviving Hausa/Habe tribes in the core/Islamic North. Up there – this 21st century! – every serf or slave master knows his divinely-ordained rank and observes it dutifully, a hereditary “democratic” villeinage that is expected to be enforced all over Nigeria in due course if “plans” succeed. In it, only the Fulani can be Sultan, Emir, village head, Governor, legislator, oil block allottee, general manager/CEO, imams that lead prayers, and what have you, with others as footstools. Having “conquered” the Hausa centuries ago, unlike the liberal Fulani today that feel perfectly at home with other Nigerians, the pro-caliphate Fulani elites, believing that the Hausa should be content to be their slaves in perpetuity, now want to snatch the remaining lands from the natives. Perfectly normal for them! Some conscientious Hausa are resisting this reckless greed, fighting for their remaining lands against the officially-assisted Fulani; and the government, propagating all manner of mix-ups, instead of abolishing this inhumane feudal order, is labelling the long oppressed victims “bandits” deserving a joint government-Fulani war to annihilate. Bandits, Boko Haram, ISWAP, terrorists, and all their “wars”, are all taquiyya concoctions of Northern Caliphate/Islamic ambitions in which many of the alleged sponsors and/or sympathizers are people in Buhari’s government, but to expose, arrest and bring them to justice is a different story entirely.
War against the Shi’ites, whose leader, Ibrahim El Zakzaky was almost killed in a murdering frenzy that perished hundreds of his members, including of his family, during an ordinarily peaceful anniversary, all because some people dreamt nothing except the fundamentalist Sunni faction unique to Nigeria that promotes the violence that sustains the Caliphate system.
There are countless other wars by the government against all manner of groups and individuals of choice: barely disguised economic wars against Igbo businesses – almost all intramural differences in the far North are appeased by killing and destroying the Igbo and their businesses; phoney corruption wars, exaggerated “infrastructure” wars, wars on the middle class that poverty is almost completely wiping out, wars against many other things for not praising his misrule, etc. Peoples are now starving and dying in droves, officials are stealing as much as they can in plain sight, government is borrowing to the level of insolvency with little to show for it, the country’s sovereignty has practically been surrendered to both external powers and local caliphatic terrorists that dictate terms, while an unwritten reign of terror frequently attempts muzzling the press, free speech and association; then, the regime has made the national currency almost worthless. All these disastrous schemes have a standard excuse: that they inherited the insecurity – and, therefore along with other elements of his misrule it has to become his orchestrated instrument of policy?
Should Buhari have nine more months of killings and chaos in variously contrived “wars” for objectives that could be unconstitutional and maybe also even treasonable, in the forlorn hope that an election in which he is an interested party and in charge of, will remedy anything?Therefore, if the goal is nation-building for a just and peaceful Nigeria, the best option now is a provisional government to heal the accumulated wounds and evolve a more civilized path forward.

There Was a Country.
A country that preferred her freedom and non-alignment than a subversive Anglo-Nigerian defence treaty returning her to serfdom stealthily signed by a stooge of the Caliphate. But today most Nigerians are yet to know the contents of an “agreement” between Mr. President and Theresa May, whose country he routinely frequents. President Buhari has also been inviting back to Africa the very American AFRICOM that has no legitimate business in the Gulf of Guinea and as such priorly rejected by the AU. A country that defied imperialism and recognized the progressive MPLA, FRELIMO, ANC, SWAPO and the Patriotic Front, protected their freedom fighters in Nigerian towns and villages, and though distant in space politically became one of the Frontline States that won independence for all of Southern Africa. A country that inspired, taught and encouraged Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, Robert Mugabe, Julius Nyerere, Jomo Kenyatta, etc on the way to freedom and national liberation. A country whose university degrees were first choice abroad over others; in which this author was welcomed with great acceptance when a student and later lecturer at the ABU. A country so much endowed and with great promise. This is the same country that President Buhari and his “cabal” have dragged to the mud, promising “free and fair elections” for whomsoever will continue in his baleful legacy. Parliament and people must not subscribe to these designs.

Provisional Government of National Redemption Now, Not 2023.
Tomorrow is too far and 2023 should not deceive anybody into complacency. A democratic revolution is the “Third Force’ Nigeria needs now, not conventional politicking and partying, not an eight-year or so interregnum after which power and society return as usual to feudal or other slavery hands. While many are planning for 2023 the Caliphate and allies in government are planning for the next 1000 years. The peoples, nationalities, men, women and children of Nigeria must be free now, not later. Think more of the youths whose lives and years have been wasted by this regime in pursuit of its own objectives, of all the thousands already killed for nothing, of the mighty potentials of the country wasted by ethnoreligious jingoists in love with ancientism, of the hordes of armed aliens deployed in the forests and cities awaiting orders, of the black race waiting on Nigeria, of what President Buhari has so far done, and of his other possible designings that might yet unfold. Two steps forward and one backwards is allowed in chess; so, as the heat turns, to belatedly coral some undeserved legitimacy and image laundering, the conquistador may tactfully pretend to some electoral and other “impartiality” at state or other areas, but at the strategic federal stage Buhari cannot hold an honest presidential elections, tolerate an impartial judiciary that could upturn his terrible legacy, or trust an army not commanded by his kinsmen. He is an immovable fanatical ideologue surrounded by birds of the same feather, and his trust deficit is beyond redemption. Therefore, if there is still a parliament in Nigeria worthy of such a title it can decide to be part of the popular will to bring Nigeria to freedom, starting by passing a law proscribing Buhari’s dear Caliphate system to free the North (and South – Lugard did so before), and invoking an “act of necessity” for a provisional government to restructure the country into true federalism and, thereafter, free and fair elections under the new conditions.
Parliament and civil society must save lives, already massively lost since mid-2015 under President Buhari, and he should not be permitted to embark upon his threatened new round of killing adventures against any sections of the country. People should also stop “persuading” him to enumerate or restructure the country, for there is nothing he can do with any other intention or in any other manner different from what he has been perpetrating all along. God used the EndSars and now using Peter Obi to mobilize the country and prove that our youths are ready to unite, build a better society of their dreams, and save one of black Africa’s greatest hopes, but the situation goes beyond the intended palliatives.
The immediate tasks of a Provisional Government would be:

Release and rehabilitation of all political prisoners from Buhari’s various hypocritical dungeons or limitations, be they Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igboho, Sheik el Zakzaky, or others, and the safe return of Banji Akintoye and other exiles. This needed step should not be transferred to a Peter Obi or a Bola Tinubu.
A federally-assisted return to their ancestral homes of all those violently expelled by AK-47 Fulani jihadists in Southern Kaduna, Plateau highlands, Tiv land/Middle Belt and elsewhere in Nigeria, and an end to the open borders and unlawful importations of foreigners into the country.
Expulsion of all terrorists and unapproved occupants of Southern, Middle Belt and other forests, encouragement of modern ranching and animal husbandry practices, and compliance with the laws of the land, especially the Land Use Act, and states’ anti-open grazing laws. We must know who are the criminals, the “unknown” gunmen, the terrorists and kidnappers, and deal with each according to the laws of the land.
Immediate stop and reversal of the mindless sale and concessioning of the country’s precious national assets, preparatory to their beneficent rationalizations for the good of the country and her citizens.
Simultaneous with the foregoing, setting up two high-powered bodies: a Special Anti-Corruption Tribunal for a speedy identification and disposal of all corruption issues; and a Restructuring Committee to develop the sociocultural, economic and administrative modalities and legal frameworks of true federalism, within a more or less ten-regional, mutually cooperating and harmoniously competing federal structure. On corruption, opportunities could be provided for honest plea bargains, a complete return of stolen assets, and transition from neocolonial clientele to patriotic national bourgeoisie.
Dissolution, rationalization and reconstitution of all parastatals and agencies of government to reflect both federal character and universal meritocratic principles.
On foreign affairs, restoration of Nigeria’s independence as a non-aligned Afrocentric nation composed of nationalities wih pre-existing civilizations and, finally,
A new Constitution, and General Elections.

It would still be a private enterprise economic system, but now erected upon just social democratic welfarist principles along European lines and for once unleashing the latent energy of our teeming youths to go for the stars in cooperative mutual emulation!

Thanks greatly.
